jHeidi Alpha 3 - Update 5

jHeidi Alpha 3 - Update 5 (now available as full download or through autoupdate)

jHeidi is a java-based companion project to HeidiSQL, the popular graphical frontend for MySQL.

jHeidi's mission is to bring HeidiSQL functionality to non-windows platforms such as Linux, and MAC OSX as well as provide a subset of the HeidiSQL features for Windows platforms.

The intended audience is developers who use MySQL in their applications. As such, this alpha release is essentially unsupported until a beta milestone has been reached. Bugs can be filed but will not necessarily worked until a later time while the primary focus of development on the alpha will be to continue to fill in the core features of HeidiSQL into jHeidi.

jHeidi is not a replacement for HeidiSQL but a collaboration with the HeidiSQL project to expand platform availability and also to continue to add features to HeidiSQL. Enhancement requests to jHeidi will be prioritized behind existing HeidiSQL features which have yet to be implemented.
